Is it an incentive or is it a bribe?
Incentives are good, bribes are not.
A bribe is mis-training an affiliate. An incentive is reward for right behaviour, thus training an affiliate.
Incentives build trust in you and in SFI. Bribes build dependance and a mentality of "you need to pay me to do that" The trust is built because you show you believe in the affiliate and you believe in the action or purchase you are asking of the affiliate. Then when the affiliate sees positive results from your requested actions, which you financed, he is willing and ready to finance it on his own in the future.
Incentives are passed on and duplicated in your downline. Bribes are all "take" and no "give". An affiliate that values from your incentives turns around and incentivises his affiliates the same way.
Incentives move a person to Success. Bribes actually stop constructive work on the part of an affiliate.
An ever evolving problem in sales is to incentivise wisely and properly. I have been in sales many, many years. And I have seen companies incent wrong behaviour. SFI has periodic policy adjustments which can be frustrating, but they are designed to incest behaviour that produces educated, capable, and successful affiliates.
Incentives work, and when well thought out and applied, work Very Well. Bribes destroy.
